He was never an all star. He was an excellent shot blocker though. I think he average about 2.5 per game for his career and that includes playing for some horrible Mavs teams and then later on in his career barely getting to play. If he wasn't so physically weak he probably would have had a much nicer career, but it's still a better career than most guys. I think people should give him some credit for constantly going in and challenging shots. I've seen a lot of guys move out of the way because they don't want to be on ESPN or on a poster. Even though I wasn't a fan of his, I respect him for manning up and knowing that every time he went to block a guy that he was probably going against someone stronger, faster and better offensively than he was defensively.

The strange thing about him is that most shotblockers generally deter people from wanting to come inside, which he did at times. Though I bet in the minds of a lot of guys, they probably got more confidence to attack when he was in the game.

Shaq used to always push off. He always got away with it though. I think he stopped pushing off once he got to Miami, but that was because he was finally getting called for offensive fouls.

Shawn Bradley was not an All-Star. Ever. He was in the rookie game, but it was also the first game and it was when they used all rookies on both teams. Yes, Shawn Bradley could block shots, but than again if you are 7'6 it is bound to happen. Those dunks are just rude, the guy just had no upper body strength and had a knack for getting posterized. Shaq by the way, may have used his arm on the first dunk, but otherwise, no one was stopping those, least of whom Shawn Bradley. He just was not a basketball player, very awkward on both ends of the floor and he could not gain the weight needed to play in the post on the NBA level. Not to mention he was a part of a strange spelunking cult (read Shlomo My True Basketball Story by Rick Reilly, hilarious book).
